Ten Ways (plus 1) to Save on Printer Ink and Toner
Cartridges
By Larry Andrew
Are you getting tired of the high cost of printing?
You’re not alone. Many consumers are up in arms. For
example, they believe paying $22 per ounce for
printer ink and $150 to $300 (or more) for a toner
cartridge is way too much.
Most of the major printer manufacturers have adopted
the same marketing model as the razor blade, TiVo
and cell phone industry. Simply stated, they sell
you the printer for cost or less in order to sell
you printer ink and toner cartridges at huge
markups. In many instances, they charge seven to ten
times what it costs to manufacture these products.
In addition, these major companies spend thousands
of dollars trying to convince you to purchase only
their products. They strongly criticize printer ink
and toner cartridges offered by third party
companies. However, did you know that many of these
major companies are now selling their own recycled
cartridges… and you’re still paying full retail
price for them! As someone once said, to get a real
education, read the fine print on the label.
With the advent of online marketing, consumer have
more choices than ever. There are a large number of
reputable companies that sell printer ink and toner
cartridges at significant savings. It is very common
to save 50-85% when purchasing your printer
supplies. In addition to substantial savings, you'll
get a money back guarantee and your order is
normally shipped the same day.
Ok, here’s ten ways (plus 1) to save on printer ink
and toner cartridges:
1. Purchase a compatible inkjet cartridge. These are
cartridges made from new parts and manufactured to
meet or exceed the OEM specifications for you exact
printer.
2. Purchase a remanufactured inkjet cartridge. Third
party companies collect empty printer ink
cartridges. They refill them with ink and test them
vigorously to make sure you get exactly the quality
and quantity you expect from your inkjet cartridge.
3. Purchase an ink refill kit. You’ll get
step-by-step instructions, the tools and printer ink
you need to refill your ink cartridge in just a few
minutes. On the average, you can refill an inkjet
cartridge ten times.
4. Your inkjet cartridge will eventually wear out.
Instead of purchasing a brand name cartridge,
purchase a compatible or remanufactured cartridge.
Then, when compatible cartridge is empty, refill it
with printer ink just as you did your original.
5. When you’re printing, always use draft mode until
you’re ready for your final print.
6. Whenever possible, select black and white print.
If you’re final product is to be in color, your
draft can be done in black and white until you’ve
double-checked everything. Then, print your final
copies in color.
7. Purchase a compatible toner cartridge. Third
party companies make these toner cartridges from
brand new parts. They are manufactured to be equal
to or better than your original toner cartridge.
8. Purchase a remanufactured cartridge. Many
companies collect empty toner cartridges. They empty
any toner waste and then refill the cartridge. They
quality check the drum and other parts of the
cartridge to insure maximum performance for the
consumer.
9. Purchase a toner refill kit. These kits include
the tools and instructions necessary to refill your
own toner cartridge. On the average, you can refill
a toner cartridge about three times.
10. When you toner cartridge is not producing the
quality of print you expect, check to see if you can
replace the drum, instead of the entire cartridge.
This will keep money in your pocket.
11. Purchase multiple ink and toner cartridges if
you can. You will save substantially over the
already discounted cost, plus you will probably get
Free shipping.
By ordering your printer ink, toner or ink cartridge
online, you’ll experience the best service, the best
warranty, and the best products available, for all
your printing needs.
